Just curious if anyone has used Squadhelp and if so their thoughts. I just created an account and it looks like a really nice set up, but just looking for opinions or experiences.

I currently have my names listed at Dan.com, Afternic and Sedo, I really dislike godaddy but it seems like they have the market cornered.

Thank you.
Dan
 
I started listing for premium in November and had first sale at the end of February. Great customer service and faster payout like Dan.

Commission rate is high: up to 30% for the premium listing depending on the price. Read more about it here: https://www.squadhelp.com/marketplace-benefits

Standard listings are 7.5%.
 
I just set up the white label site for Squadhelp, www.RedTagDomains.ca just need to add more logo's, and set Bin's.

I am happy with the look, they have AI integrated into the sales platform where it automatically adds use cases, description and a bit of other info, I'm thinking just to make the Domians show up on more searches within their system not sure if it would translate to off site SEO?

we will see.

Wow, it sucks if you want to list a Premium Domain there
 
The SH commission level is outlandish and they will also limit if you can list on any other venues, as well as enforcing a ceiling on their "approved price" so that people don't just turn it into a high-priced museum. It's limit after limit after limit on SH and I really don't like someone else deciding how high a price I get "approved" for.

I really don't see a reason to list there,, at least under Premium, as 99.5% of sales occur due to DNS traffic, so if it would sell on SH for potentially 30% it would also sell at GD for 15% or maybe even on your own lander for 3-5%.

* And don't be fooled by the notation of a theoretical 15% commission for Premium, as you need to sell at domain at $75,000 or higher to qualify for that. Most premium domain sales will incur 30% with some dropping to 25% ($5K to $50K).

I only have standard listings on squadhelp, I have my domains listed on Afternic, Godaddy, Dan, all don't really bring in any leads, I sold 3 on Dan.com last year in total and they were the only inquires I had ( digitalRealty.ca / PacificProperties.ca / Riona.ca )

I will take any sale that I can get lately, even if it's 30% commission

Sure, but with that comes a pile of limitations and approvals that I cannot live with.

Why not stick with your Standard Listings and forward your traffic there for a 7.5% commission? Or is there no easy nameserver way to do that at SH, a la GoDaddy?

And you feed all your traffic to SH? Does it work with nameservers or do you have to manually forward?

And why are all your sales at Dan?

I just found the nameservers info:

Edit the nameservers for your domain in your registrar’s control panel. Set the first and second nameservers to:

ns1.squadhelp.com
ns2.squadhelp.com

If GoDaddy ever closes Dan, this looks like a potential option to explore. Just list everything as Standard and feed your DNS traffic straight to your domains. Might save me some commission money.
